Gemini 3 Flash (1) — likely the final major AI model debut of 2025 — is currently making waves. Despite being positioned as an affordable, mid-tier model, its performance is reportedly on par with flagship models. Today, I want to put Gemini 3 Flash to the test and see just how much its multimodal capabilities have evolved. Let’s dive right in.

1. App Development

To conduct our experiments, I wanted to create a simple application using Google AI Studio. By simply entering a prompt into the interface, the app was ready in an instant. No Python was used at all. This level of accessibility means even non-engineers can build functional apps now. Things have truly become incredibly convenient.

2. Object Counting

First, I challenged the model with a task that has historically been difficult for AI: counting objects. I asked the AI to count the number of cans and cars in an image. I counted them myself as well, and the AI’s response was spot on. At this level of accuracy, we might no longer need specialized object detection models for general tasks.

3. Economic Analysis from Charts

Next, let’s try a task that requires a higher level of intelligence: interpreting economic indicators from charts and generating an analytical report. Japan has entered a super-aging society faster than any other developed nation, and the labor force is steadily declining. For this test, I provided charts for the labor force population, unemployment rate, and Manufacturing Sector hourly wages. I then instructed the AI to read these charts, synthesize the data, and produce a comprehensive analysis.

In 30 seconds, the economic report was generated. Below is an excerpt. I was genuinely impressed by the depth of analysis derived from just three charts. Gemini 3 Flash is truly formidable!

Conclusion

What do you think? Gemini 3 Flash is a fantastic value, being significantly cheaper than rival flagship models. Given that its multimodal performance is top-tier, I believe this will become the "go-to" model for many users. For AI startups like ours, having a model that allows for extensive experimentation with high token volumes without breaking the bank is incredibly reassuring. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Stay tuned!
